My last memory of Maui before flying home was of peaceful and relaxing morning yoga to the soothing…read moresounds of the ocean waves. Candy leads a lovely beach yoga session (she offers both private and group sessions)- she is flexible and accommodating. We coordinated by text, as she usually only has a group session if there are at least 2-3 participants. (My group session as a visitor was $20 for an hour). We met at a secluded beach in Waimea and only had to bring beach towels. She gave us useful tips on how to yoga without getting sand all over. The class was suitable for any level, as it was a gentle, flow style yoga. The point is to be in sync with the ocean, learn some Hawaiian, and just feel your toes in the sand. Mahalo, Candy!

I contacted Candy, the instructor, about booking a private session for Thanksgiving sunrise yoga…read moresession. She was very accommodating, and getting there was a breeze! I got a nice sweat from the yoga session, but also enjoyed the explanation behind the poses and meanings. Overall, it was worth it and can't beat the Maui beach view. I would highly recommend doing this as part of your itinerary, because it will serve as a nice spiritual part of your Maui journey. Namaste, and mahalo!

For people newer to the area, it's upstairs, above the smoothie bar…read more I found that all of my teachers during my 10-day trial were great. Very clear with cueing and frequently encouraging us to remember key concepts of specific movements. I tried both locations and found that I preferred the Pa'ia locale for it's more intimate experience and constant fresh breeze. It was my first experience with the Lagree method and love it so much. Came back home and my workout buddies could see a difference after ten classes!

I Love that place! It's located in Wailea right by Monkeypod! I go two or three times a week!read more

I cannot say enough good things about my week with Heather and Donny at their Wellness retreat…read more They welcomed us into their beautiful home and little slice of paradise and treated the group like family. I didn't want to leave! I'm going to break up my review into important pieces to consider: 1. The food. Heather and others spent many many hours preparing healthy, delicious meals that were so nourishing and filling. I could taste the love, effort, and experience in every meal. Many of the ingredients were either grown locally or even right there on the property. 10/10. 2. The workshops. They gave us a little bit of everything- yoga, aerial yoga, meditation, energy healing, life coaching, manifesting, and others. It is a well rounded week of caring for yourself and being cared for. 10/10. 3. Accommodations. I stayed in a small cabin out front of the main house. There was a lotus pond out front (no mosquitos) and it was so cozy. The bed was insanely comfortable. There is a short walk to the main house to get to the restroom but that wasn't an issue in the slightest. Also the shower is outdoors, but honestly it adds to the charm and nature focus of the whole thing. They have a spa and pool on site that are so nice, our group used it quite a bit to bond and relax together between classes. 10/10 4. Vibes. This couple brings a full jug of love and dumps it into this place. I could feel it with every moment. You can tell they love what they do, they love their home, they love life, and they love the folks that come through. Be prepared to accept the many gifts they have to offer and open your heart to it. This little slice of paradise is so full of acceptance and peace. They give you the space you need to heal, the open arms for hugs, and tissues for when you put in the work to really process through the icky stuff we all hold inside. If you need a little extra support like I did, you will get it here. I made forever friends with the other gals who attended, too, and that lasting sisterhood is truly everything! 10/10 I found them here on yelp, booked direct from their website, and will likely book again in the future through their website as well. I am so full of gratitude for these two and look forward to meeting them again in whatever paths we are in when they cross.

Great Ariel yoga retreat! I wasn't expecting it to be so easy. Not that it was totally easy peezy…read morebut it was gradual and she made me do things I didn't think I could do.

This is primarily a review of their Vinyasa Flow yoga classes…read more The instructors were amazing, supportive, helpful and offer a LOT of individual hands-on instruction. I found myself going twice a week. However, they also go at a very good pace so even friends who were more experiences felt that it was a solid challenge. This place is phenomenally better than anything they offer at the hotels (if you're one of those people who understandably cannot give up yoga for a week or want to maintain that beach body all trip) The are way off the beaten track and far from the road so you get to enjoy warm island air circulating all around you without any distractions. It's a bit of a drive for anyone staying on the touristy-side of the island (south shore) BUT completely worth the trip. Try combining it with a trip to Paia or to Ho'okipa to check out the windsurfers/surfers and huge breaks at the end of the day. You will definitely be hungry after-wards and fortunately, Flatbread Pizza and their Mopsy (kula pork and goat cheese from the island's dairy) is on your way home through Paia. (call in as you head down from Haiku the second you get cell reception)

There's a great big community meeting room, and the kitchen, as well as smaller meeting rooms all on the upper floor. Downstairs are various services including the department of motor vehicles upcountry office. What a great place to have a party for a wedding or graduation and invite everybody you know. There are beautiful views of the ocean and central valley, including Molokai and the west Maui Mountains. Step out on the covered lanai to get some fresh air and enjoy the views. The vast central space has an open beam ceiling making for great acoustics. This is a real highlight of the community in Pukalani.

They have tables and chairs for your use. Cute little kitchen area where you can cook if you need to or prepare food. They do have a small refrigerator for your use. Bathrooms are always clean and well stocked with toilet paper and paper towels. They do have a stage area for the entertainment. During the winter months it tends to get cold at parties so dress warm.

I had no idea this place existed until recently as I was invited to a birthday celebration here…read more The complex is 7 acres in size and includes a community center and 4 cement tennis courts. COMMUNITY CENTER: The open-air, single level, rectangular-shaped building was just the right size for a party and can accommodate about 200 people. A small kitchen is on one end, a stage at the other, and restrooms out back. Views of the outside are second to none as windows line the entire front and back of the hall. The facility is older but is in exceptional shape. I did hear from the party host that she had to bring in some rented tables and chairs at her expense as the ones they provide weren't in the best shape. TENNIS COURTS: There are 4 of them but I didn't check it out. TIP: Sunsets here are killer! OVERALL: It was a further drive for me but I'm glad the party was here rather than at the decrepit Eddie Tam venue in Makawao.

By the way, what do they do? They are publicly funded with county dollars, yes that's your tax money being poorly spent.
